Not sure..

from Elemental Forums

Been playing a lot lately, and have been getting a lot of 'hanging up' when I'm sending one of my armies through a village or something to go elsewhere.. they are of course on horseback, and they 'hang up' by just running in place trying to get to their destination with 1 of 3 spaces left to go. It's like the game forgot to finish moving them or something.

 

I'm not sure if this is on my end with my computer or if it's the game glitching or not.

 

Shouldn't be the computer though.. 

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Procerssor (3.30 ghz processor x 6 cores)

4 Gigs of Ram

2 Gig Nvidia GTX 550 Ti video card

So I've got the umph to push the game with little or no problem.. however, things happen..

yes, all drivers are up to date.. but still this has been happening a lot and was wondering if it's just me or not.. and if not, it's better to make the folks know so they can look into it. It's not creating a bug report issue, so it's not something I can just pass on because it's not a crash.

It happens when an enemy faction is in the spot you are moving to that you don't have war with. It waits for the spot to clear before moving you. So let's say you want to head out somewhere 15 spots away and clicked there. Then a caravan moves into that spot. Your guy starts moving in place until the caravan moves or I guess skips it's turn. What you can do when that happens is select your guy, click back on him to cancel movement, and then click somewhere more near to you so he moves again so you dont waste the move.

 

I'd bet it's the way they have the AI coded to move only it probobly automatically ends it's turn.

 

You can also just press turn and waste any movement you have and next turn if the spot is clear you will move. I only know because I thought it was a bug too. ;)

well, I can buy into part of that, except there is no a.i. around me when this happens, no enemies, no monsters, not even bad vegetation. /shrug.

I wish I could just press turn and wate a movement, but no buttons work at all, so I can not click on him and push back or anything like that. The game is frozen, except for the galloping of the horses that my army is on at the time. It seems like the only times it does this is when it's 'skipping' through one of my cities on their way somewhere else, just as it comes out, poof, it does what it does and that's the game Alice, say goodnight Gracie.

Loading back to last save, which auto save is a blessing, is the only way to continue on with the particular game, and what ever you do, don't let the army go through those steps again or you're just going to end up rinsing and repeating what you just did.

It's just a strange bug, and apparently, I'm about the only person affected, so it might be something on my end. Perhaps I'll start 'FRAPSING' my games and seeing if I can catch it as it happens.. we'll see though.

Anyway Horsesfly, thanks for the response, perhaps others that have seen this or had it happen to them will respond as well.

No I've seen the freeze too that you mention. Sometimes it even stranger stuff like your town is full so your guy cant walk through it. It's always something if you look hard. Though sometimes you cant find why it's frozen and have to reload. So I'm of the mind that it something out there in the fog of war even when I can't find it and have to reload.

 

The game needs to lock some spaces per city as hidden. So like they there but you cant station peope and you can move through even when it's full. Maybe they need to lock some spaces for every square so this annoying situation never happens.
